3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: CAUTION. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist. Take prudent precautions to
avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. ALWAYS wear chemically-resistant gloves (Ex: neoprene, or
nitrile) when handling this product.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Causes temporary irritation, tearing, and blurred vision.
SKIN: Can cause skin irritation. Can cause a burning or prickling sensation on more sensitive areas (face,
eyes, mouth).
SKIN ABSORPTION: Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. Can cause stomach irritation, resulting in nausea, cramps and vomiting.
Can cause nervous system disorders, such as fatigue, dizziness, headaches, lack of coordination.
INHALATION: Excessive inhalation may be irritating to the respiratory tract.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment
advice.

Pyganic Crop Protection EC 1.4 ¡¡ Page 2 of 6
SKIN: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a
poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
INGESTION: If swallowed, call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person
sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or
a doctor. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
INHALATION: Remove affected person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then
give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for further
treatment advice.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: For skin effects, a highly efficient therapeutic agent for pyrethrin exposure is topical
application of tocopherol acetate (Vitamin E).

with full protective gear. Keep nearby containers and equipment cool with a water stream.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILL: Stop release, if possible without risk. Dike or contain release, if possible, and if immediate
response can prevent further damage or danger. Isolate and control access to the release area. Take actions to
reduce vapors. Absorb with appropriate absorbent such as sand, or vermiculite. Clean spill area of residues
and absorbent.
LARGE SPILL: Stop release, if possible without risk. Dike or contain release, if possible, and if immediate
response can prevent further damage or danger. Isolate and control access to the release area. Take actions to
reduce vapors. Collect product into drums, storage tanks, etc., via drains, pumps, etc. Absorb with appropriate
absorbent such as sand or vermiculite. Clean spill area of residues and absorbent.

ACUTE
DERMAL LD 50 : >2000 mg/kg
Albino rabbit.
ORAL LD 50 : >2000 mg/kg
Albino rat.
INHALATION LC 50 : The Acute Inhalation LC50 of this material places it in EPA Toxic Category III.
EYE EFFECTS: Conjunctival irritation clearing in 72 hours.
SKIN EFFECTS: Slight irritation at 72 hours. Irritation Index = 1.58
SENSITIZATION: When applied dermally to albino guinea pigs, this product appears to be a dermal sensitizer.
COMMENTS: None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1%
are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH as being carcinogens.
Carcinogenicity/ Oncogenicity-Pyrethrum has been tested in chronic feeding studies in mice and rats. Slightly
elevated incidences of benign tumors of the thyroid and liver were seen in rats following high doses of
Pyrethrum. Further detailed scientific studies into the mechanism causing these responses indicate that these
effects in the animals only occur at doses greatly exceeding the likely human exposure levels. Thus, the effects
seen in animals are of little relevance to humans.
